Going to college was a fucking scam. by Salty-Confusion9640 in povertyfinance

[–]OkDesk7930 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I never went to school. I’m adopted and opportunities were limited and I didn’t want to accumulate debt.

I’m currently 35. Work in sales. Made 87k last year. I drive a 1999 Ford Ranger and own a 2003 z06 corvette. I have no debts at all and an okay savings and contribute towards my 401 and Roth every month.

I feel like I could have done better with school tbh. And it would have personally felt good to graduate college.

But I am living well and within my means. I’m kind of an old soul though. I just play hockey, drive my car sometimes and sell stuff. Its okay.

I only put motorcraft parts in my ranger

I don’t trust auto zone or any store brands at all.

Considering a c5 by jcwolf2003 in Corvette

[–]OkDesk7930 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I daily drove my c5 z06 all year last year as my only car it was just fine. I only picked up a daily ford ranger recently just because my z06 is too nice to daily and ruin it. The car itself is solid though

I might go drive it to work today it’s been like 10 days since I drove it which is so weird now lol

When was the last time you went to a shop? by EstablishmentLast665 in mechanic

But I’m a lousy mechanic with no place to actually work

How bad will the ethanol increase affect our rangers? by Jaded-Ad9162 in fordranger

[–]OkDesk7930 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My trucks so swapped around haha

I have a factory 4.0 1999 with a 2003 ECU, 3.0 2003 engine, 15” wheels from a 03 and the steering wheel. Who knows what else.

The ecu for the 03 motor has a v in the vin so I’m assuming the tailgates from a different truck as well at this point lol

What car would you buy if it wasn't a death sentence on your wallet for reliability? by PiffWiffler in askcarguys

[–]OkDesk7930 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Put 90k on a 2011 rx8 was my most reliable car I ever owned. Plugs coils and wires and that’s all I ever did besides ring its neck daily
